We told you that the “election denier” label would switch parties after Election Day. Kari Lake seems to be cruising to an easy win as governor of Arizona, despite problems with voting machines in Maricopa County. Her opponent, Katie Hobbs, refused to debate and was known to take the freight elevator in order to avoid dealing with the press.
MSNBC’s Rachel Maddow has a theory about Arizona. It’s an open-carry state, and those far-right Republicans have been using that privilege as a form of political intimidation. This comes not long after MSNBC’s Claire McCaskill said that MAGA are “out there with guns and camo” this Election Day. Oh, and look, Maddow’s chatting with “dystopia beat” reporter Ben Collins — that’s fitting.
Rachel Maddow: "In Arizona, one of the things we have to think about is the fact that Arizona is an open carry state, and a lot of the far-right in Arizona has been willing to use their open carry privilege as a form of political intimidation…"pic.twitter.com/LBiIhLH2vb

Wow. Just wow.
I'm gonna need to see proof of this one, Mr. Maddow.

Faking it. Faking her fear. Faking as always.

MSNBC should have a permanent disclaimer on its broadcasts.

That’s bull. We’re not even allowed to carry at polling places it’s illegal.

What’s most intimidating to people like Maddow is allowing people to vote unmolested by her fear mongering. The media is the enemy of the people, never forget that. It’s one of the few things both sides agree upon.

So MSNBC is going with the excuse that MAGA are out there open-carrying at polling places to scare away Democrats?
